Venezuela's President Hugo Chávez urged the BRIC countries (Brazil, India, China, and Russia) and the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA) to launch a "counterattack" in view of the "barbaric" international operations against Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.

"We have to start a more coordinated action to counteract this barbaric" operation, said the Venezuelan president in a telephone contact with state-run TV channel VTV. Chávez did not elaborate, Efe reported.

Chávez made this proposal to the BRIC countries as well as to the ALBA countries because, in his view, they have expressed a "very firm" position against the attacks on Libya by the United States and the "old European empires." The members of the ALBA have already supported Chávez's proposal to mediate in the conflict.

"We have to launch a counterattack. We can not sit back and do nothing," he said.
